 How to Call a Suitelet from MapReduce



There are situations when we have to call a suitelet from Mapreduce possibly to trigger it and get a response from it.

There was a scenario for customer where I had to call a PDF suitelet in order to read the contents of PDF and send it customer as batch job. So I used below API to do the work.

Code in Suitelet

Suitelet is doing the job of saving the PDF in filecabinet

var fileObj = file.create({
                name: 'invoice_' + invoiceId + '.pdf',
                fileType: file.Type.PDF,
                contents: pdfFile.getContents(),
                folder: folderId 
            });

            var fileId = fileObj.save(); 
            context.response.setHeader({
                name: 'Content-Type',
                value: 'application/pdf'
            });
            context.response.setHeader({
                name: 'Content-Disposition',
                value: 'inline; filename="invoice_' + invoiceId + '.pdf"'
            });

            context.response.write(pdfFile.getContents());

Code in Mapreduce 

Mapreduce is doing the job of calling suitelet, reading the content of file from filecabinet and then deleting it.

https.requestSuitelet({
scriptId: "idofsuiteletscript",
 deploymentId: "deployidofsuiteletscript",
 external: true,
 urlParams: {
 recId: idofinvoicerecord
 }
 });
